He was caught on the ice for a lengthy shift of 1:36 with the Rangers enjoying some extended time in the offensive zone and did not look well after the sequence. He played only two more shifts for a combined 42 seconds after that and never returned to the Penguins bench after the first intermission.

The Penguins won the game, 4-2, to take a 3-1 lead in the series.

Should Orpik miss Game 5 in Pittsburgh on Friday night, rugged blue-liner Robert Bortuzzo likely will draw into the lineup.
